Yan Shouyi, Long Feicheng, Agong, Luo Ning, Zhu Shanzao, and Old Jin.
Lu Jing led a group of Lu Shan Sect disciples including Huang Hai and Zhou Yuquan.
And the vengeful spirits of the Liu family, possessing paper figures.
Everyone had only one destination today: the top floor of Ping An Building.
Their goal was also singular – to conquer the Bai family!
Slaying Bai Shixi today would be a severe blow to the Bai family!
Then, while the Bai family was weakened, they would completely thwart their plan to set up a formation!
Ding—
The elevator doors opened on the top floor.
Yan Shouyi and the others slowly emerged, surveying the environment.
Atop the stairs, Bai Shixi remained hidden behind a beaded curtain, lounging in the embrace of a seductive female ghost.
He sneered dismissively, "Is this all the people you brought?"
As his words faded, the staircase door was kicked open, and Lu Shan disciples, along with the Liu family's paper figures, surged out.
Yan Shouyi and his group numbered at least a hundred.
Even in a brawl among gangsters, such a force was a significant presence.
"Bai Shixi! Your good days are over. Come out and face your death!" Lu Jing shouted.
Bai Shixi still didn't take them seriously.
He stretched and yawned.
Seeing Bai Shixi's reaction, Long Feicheng shivered.
He sensed something was wrong! dafengxs.com
Why wasn't Bai Shixi surprised to see so many of them here?
It was as if he had anticipated their arrival, as if he had planned for them to come!
Long Feicheng became suddenly alert and said to Yan Shouyi in a low voice, "Brother Yan, something's not right. This old bastard seems to know we're coming. Could this be a trap!"
"It is a trap," Yan Shouyi replied calmly.
"You knew all along?!" Long Feicheng exclaimed in surprise.
"Officer Xia Zhi warned me that Li Peihua was untrustworthy. After I returned, I consulted the divination, and it appears Li Peihua betrayed the Li family, intending to get us killed."
Long Feicheng immediately became anxious, "Then why did we come here? Aren't we walking into our own deaths?"
"However, I performed another divination, and tonight is the best opportunity to strike a heavy blow against the Bai family! I didn't understand it before, but now I do. If we don't come tonight, Bai Shixi will successfully advance to become a Ghost King, and with our current abilities, it would be impossible to defeat the Bai family!"
Yan Shouyi's gaze was firmer than ever.
He knew that Ping An Building was a trap tonight, and he was even aware of the perilous situation he was in.
Yet, he had to come.
To prepare for this, he had set up a powerful formation in the corridor.
As long as they could kill Bai Shixi together before Bai Yusheng and the others returned, the overall situation would be largely decided.
Upon receiving Yan Shouyi's answer, Long Feicheng suddenly felt relieved.
He was no longer afraid.
With everyone united against a common enemy, and a force of a hundred men, surely they could deal with just one Bai Shixi?!
So, Long Feicheng hoisted the RPG and walked directly to the front of the group.
"An old saying goes, an old man who lives long is a scoundrel. You old bastard, even in death you refuse to reincarnate, clinging to the mortal realm to lord over others and harm the innocent. Today, this young master will act on behalf of heaven and send you a package for soul dispersion!"
"Everyone, attention! Human Cannon Level One, prepare to fire!!"
Bang!
The paper RPG actually fired a projectile.
The projectile, enveloped in Agong's azure power, flew directly towards the Luo Han bed behind the beaded curtain!
Boom!!!
Direct hit!
After a roar of explosion, everyone's eyes were fixed on the staircase.
They were all anticipating that this grand attack would inflict damage upon Bai Shixi.
However—
As the dust settled, Bai Shixi was completely unharmed.
Not only him, but even the beaded curtain surrounding him showed no signs of damage!
Long Feicheng's pupils contracted, and he turned to Agong, "Agong, is your RPG any good? Did you do something wrong?"
Agong sighed, "This is already the most powerful papercraft I could make."
Everyone's hearts sank.
If they couldn't even break through Bai Shixi's beaded curtain, how could they talk about killing him tonight?
They might as well go home and sleep!
Bai Shixi also began to mock them, "You youngsters, you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. I, Bai Shixi, a century after my death, can still live freely in the mortal realm. Do you think it's because of the useless descendants of the Bai family who are still alive in the world?"
"Hahahaha! Even in the realm of the dead, might makes right, and whoever has the bigger fist enjoys wealth and prosperity!!"
"The young brat who spoke so disrespectfully just now, in the past, I would have skinned you, pulled out your tendons, drained your blood, and eaten your flesh!"
"But now, I shall give you a small lesson!"
Yan Shouyi's expression changed, and he rushed towards Long Feicheng.
However, a surge of ghostly energy suddenly flew out from behind the beaded curtain and entered Long Feicheng's body!
Yan Shouyi failed to protect Long Feicheng!
Struck by the ghostly energy, Long Feicheng shuddered violently and then collapsed to the ground, his limbs twitching!
"Old Jin! Come quickly and check on Little Long!" Yan Shouyi shouted.
Old Jin had initially thought that as a person without combat ability, he would be a burden on the top floor.
He hadn't expected to be useful so soon.
Everyone dragged Long Feicheng to the rear. After examining him, Old Jin said,
"Little Long has only been hit by ghostly energy. I can expel it, so don't worry!"
Relieved that Long Feicheng was alright, Yan Shouyi let out a sigh.
But if Old Jin hadn't been there, Long Feicheng would have been in grave danger.
"Oh my, oh my!"
At this moment, Bai Shixi spoke again:
"When you've lived too long, things become uninteresting. Tonight is even dull, but thankfully you all barged in, adding a bit of amusement."
"My junior descendant specifically requested that I kill all of you tonight, especially a kid named Yan Shouyi."
"Now, Yan Shouyi, where are you? Come out and let me see you—Since a junior specifically named you, I'll naturally leave you for last to torment and kill slowly. If you don't step out now, I might accidentally kill you in the ensuing slaughter, and that wouldn't be much fun, would it?"
Bai Shixi spoke with such arrogant audacity.
But his strength gave him the capital to speak so.
Yan Shouyi stepped forward a few paces and stood out.
"I am Yan Shouyi!"
"Oh, I thought you were someone formidable. Turns out you're just an ordinary young brat!"
Bai Shixi laughed contemptuously and casually pointed from behind the beaded curtain.
A seductive female ghost standing beside him suddenly flew out from behind the curtain!
The female ghost, wielding a long red sword and with a sinister smile, attacked Yan Shouyi with extreme speed!
Yan Shouyi remained expressionless. The moment before the female ghost could strike, his body suddenly vanished from his spot!
Seeing Yan Shouyi disappear, the female ghost's face instantly showed panic.
How could his speed be so great?
What kind of spell allowed him to vanish like that?
The next second, Yan Shouyi appeared behind the female ghost.
This move was called "Soaring Ground Golden Light"!
It was a technique he had just learned from Zhang Shantong!
This feint left the female ghost with no chance to react.
He grabbed her by the neck with one hand, pulling her down from mid-air.
The two of them landed on the stairs!
The female ghost recovered and raised her sword to stab Yan Shouyi.
But Yan Shouyi was faster. He easily slapped her wrist, evading the long sword!
Raising the sword, turning around.
The movements were seamless.
The sword was still in Yan Shouyi's hand, while the female ghost's head had already been severed!
Even with her head on the ground, the female ghost still opened her mouth and made gurgling sounds.
Yan Shouyi silently aimed for her forehead and thrust the sword in.
In less than a few seconds, the female ghost sent by Bai Shixi to kill Yan Shouyi was annihilated!
This was Yan Shouyi's strength!
Witnessing this, the people brought by Yan Shouyi let out excited cheers.
They had indeed been intimidated by Bai Shixi earlier.
But now, with Yan Shouyi's swift execution of Bai Shixi's subordinate, he had turned the tide for them!
Their morale surged once more!
"You kid, you're quite... interesting."
Bai Shixi smiled meaningfully.
He could obviously tell Yan Shouyi was boosting morale.
But he could also see that Yan Shouyi possessed genuine skill.
Yan Shouyi not only had ability but also strategy, knowing when to crush the enemy's pride and raise his own spirits.
This made Bai Shixi, an old ghost who had lived for hundreds of years, look upon him with respect.
In contrast, his only usable junior, Bai Yusheng, was so vulnerable.
If only he could recruit Yan Shouyi!
After destroying the female ghost, Yan Shouyi turned towards the beaded curtain.
Then, he began to ascend the stairs, step by step!
He walked alone towards Bai Shixi!
"Bai Shixi!!"
"Your Bai family has committed countless evil deeds, and now you wish to set up a formation to harm the people of Rongcheng. I, Yan Shouyi, will not tolerate it!"
"If you want to kill me, send out some capable subordinates. If you only have trash like the one just now, I advise you to clean your neck and wait to be slaughtered!"
Yan Shouyi's mockery and provocation brought the atmosphere to an extreme.
Lu Jing looked at the Lu Shan disciples around him, "What are you waiting for? Follow Yan Shouyi up!"
The others snapped back to attention and followed Yan Shouyi's lead, ascending the long staircase!
Liu Jingkang, possessing a paper figure, was filled with hatred in his eyes,
"The Bai family massacred my Liu family. Today, we start with Bai Shixi. If this revenge is not taken, I, Liu Jingkang, will never reincarnate!"
Over a hundred people steadily approached Bai Shixi's beaded curtain.
And all of this was under Yan Shouyi's leadership!
